George and McGlynn Not Living on the

New YORK, Sept. 15-There has been
considerable newspaper talk of late about
Henry George and Dr. McGlynn making
money out of the labor and anti-poverty
movements. They have been represented
as rolling in wealth and living in luxury.
The fact is that Mr.. Georges books are
having a wide sale and his paper is now on
a good paying basis. In addition to this,
he is in great demand as lecturer On a
recent lecture tour that he made out west
he cleared over $500 in two weeks
George is considered worth from $50, 900 to
$4,000. DR.. McGlynn had little money
when removed from his parish, but his par
ishioners presented him with between $4,000
and $4,000, and this has been his main support
ever SINCE although he has received and is
still receiving gifts from admirers all over
the country His home since May has been
with relations in Brooklyn. Before that
he lived at the Astor house. He is still
charitable, but not beyond his means. He
